In case you were worried about the roads being too safe, you can rest easily knowing that Teslas will be rolling out with unsupervised "Full Self Driving" in a couple days.

It doesn't seem to be going great, even in supervised mode. This one couldn't safely drive down a simple, perfectly straight road in broad daylight :( Veered off the road for no good reason. Glad nobody got badly hurt.

We analyze the onboard camera footage, and try to figure out what went wrong. Turns out, a lot. We also talk through how camera-only autonomous cars work, Tesla's upcoming autonomous taxi rollout, and how AI hallucinations figure into everything.

In theory maybe, but our brains are basically a supercomputer on steroids when it comes to interpreting and improving the "video feed" our eyes give us.

Could it be done with just cameras, probably some time in the future, but why the fuck wouldn't you use a depth sensor now, and even in the future as a redundancy.

Yeah I mean that's what I said.
